Woman with seven different personalities | 60 Minutes Australia

If you ever bumped into Marcela Del Sol walking down the street you might be confused. She is kind and friendly but suffers from an illness which means she’s not always herself. Sometimes she’s a completely different woman: Lola, Angel or Bella. Sometimes she is even a man - the curmudgeonly Chris. In total, Marcela shares her body with seven different personalities.

Despite the terrible impact DID is having on her life, Marcela wants to share her experience in the hope that others will be more tolerant.
